The change in mass, electric charge, angular momentum are the only things that are detectable after the apple crosses the black hole - no hair theorem. As far as we know, no quantum information is recoverable. We don't actually, like, see the apple ever cross the event horizon it's a whole weird thing. The event horizon conceals all events from the interior of the black hole from the rest of the universe - we never see anything about the center of the black hole or any part inside it, ever. It's all cut off.

The additional mass that changes how much additional force there is due to gravity is communicated at the speed of light, no faster.

There are interesting theories about black hole holography, universe holography brane vs bulk stuff, whatever.

At least it's not Strom Thurmand mad about the civil rights act with the longest speaking time record anymore...

People on the change my view subreddit were always either fanatics for their particular view or held it so weakly that any little push back got them to change. Can't imagine it'll help them much

No, to be honest I'd prefer not being perceived at all

It is crazy-making and it's one of the reasons 2022 to 2024 had such enormous flops. They just don't have any control over budgets at all, and apparently thought the era of superhero billion dollar box offices was never gonna end. I'm picking on capeshit unfairly because even the supposed auteur movies had way too big of a budget - and you don't even see it on screen, the effects look so bad lol (unless it's an Avatar, like you said)

The closest I've ever got to being alone in a theatre was a matinee showing of Don't Breathe like 4 weeks into its run. Got 15 minutes in before someone else came by.

I watched it totally alone on Saturday night, never been in a theater alone! I've heard there were a lot of walk outs - which I don't get, theres no accounting for taste of course, but I didn't think it was leave early bad.

I loved the spectacle and the aesthetic and the fashion, the characters were sorta eh - this is a story where the characters aren't grounded in realism but are supposed to be stand ins for ideas or movements. Aubrey Plaza was great in it, I actually kinda liked Shia LaBeouf as well. Adam Driver was so-so, but I think that was down to directing. Music choices were odd but I kinda dug it.

I really had a hard time following the plot. Lots of things happened and were resolved in the next scene - felt like about an hour was cut haphazardly. I didn't have a theatre were an actor was hired to interview Cesar Catalina (Adam Driver) breaking the 4th walll butterfly aspect ratio and frame changed enough to keep some semblance of the effect.

spoilerCesar can control time, which is interesting but I think is basically just a literalization of him being an Artist able to freeze time (it's said as much in the movie), not a gaudy super power

  • not really a spoiler it's like the first scene.

Kind of a bizarre trip, glad Coppola got to make his Moby Dick of a movie. It's way funnier than I was expecting something as pretentious as I figured it'd be - reminded me of Shakespeare style blending of High Art and Low Art, a comparison I'm sure Coppola would love. I bet I'll watch this again on streaming or Blu Ray or something years later and see a bunch of stuff that didn't make sense the first go.

Lady Gaga

I bear no resemblance. I can't sing. I just think she's neat.

In Canada, there used to be Residential School. My granny went to one. They were pretty horrific to say the least. There were people, at the time, who thought entering them and reforming from within was what to do.

Of course, in reality, the only morally correct option was abolition and - eventually - that's what happened. They had some other levers to pull on the oppression machine like starlight tours and the 60s scoop and so on, but Residential School had only one morally correct position and it was not "reforming from within"

I'm a little bias short and stout, here is my handle here is my spout
